Best case scenario right here. The tank is back in session, AND Doc's horrible "coaching" is getting more exposed by the minute.

No motion. No off ball movement. One pick then ISO.

Melo isn't even on the court what's the excuse?

like a said no offensive sets forcing them to improvise like last year now its worse with three players that like the ball in their hands :nonono: :( :banghead: :roll:


Yeah I know who they have on the roster. Why are they letting them go nuts? PG and Westbrook shooting 9-32 tonight.

Russ and PG13 have been shut down by the Spurs defense tonight.

You haven't watched him enough. His length and quickness is pretty unique at PG, still kinda raw, but he's coming along slowly and has had some good games this year so far.

CP3 was still guarded by an amazing defender at PG.

I was told he was one of the greatest point guards ever, with LeBron/Durant-level impact. Nobody should be able to stop him in a Game 7 at home. The excuses that get made for this guy are just mind-numbing.


I don't have a reason to make any excuses for CP3. I have no dog in this fight. All I'm saying is that George Hill is a really, really good defender that has traditionally limited his opponent's production in the playoffs.

There isn't one i am thinking big picture. We also need a better coach Donovan is not the guy he basically just lets them do anything on offense. :nod: :oops: :o

Appears to have declined mightily, used to be one of the more athletic dudes in the league.
